Winkelcentrum Walburg
595 residents · postal code 3332 · Part of Walburg, Zwijndrecht
Everything close by, little to spend
Winkelcentrum Walburg has fewer than six hundred residents, and with the crime figures that is the first thing to know: reported offences are counted per thousand residents, and here the denominator is small. What is recorded is also overwhelmingly of one kind. Property offences run many times above the national median, while violence rises only modestly above it. The 2.7 for safety is therefore mostly about things going missing.
The make-up of the population is just as one-sided. More than half of residents are 65 or over, over three quarters of households consist of one person and there are barely any children.
Everything is within walking distance, which produces a 9.3 for amenities, but the property value stays far below the national median and the share of households on a high income is small. Amenities and wealth sit further apart here than in almost any other neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
Is Winkelcentrum Walburg a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Winkelcentrum Walburg comes out at 105 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Winkelcentrum Walburg is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Winkelcentrum Walburg?
In Winkelcentrum Walburg the police recorded 141 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (105 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Winkelcentrum Walburg calculated?
Winkelcentrum Walburg scores 2.7 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Winkelcentrum Walburg lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
